Don't Believe PAUL RYAN He will Run after 1st Ballot Contested Convention Ryans Bull



Don't Believe it; Paul Ryan spokeswoman: Ryan will not accept a GOP nomination for president

"You know, I haven't given any thought to this stuff," Ryan said in the exclusive interview at the Capitol. "People say, 'What about the contested convention?' I say, well, there are a lot of people running for president. We'll see. Who knows?"
Ryan, who ran in 2012 as Mitt Romney's vice presidential nominee, has taken no public actions to encourage the idea that he could become a candidate. To the contrary, a political committee set up to draft him into the 2016 race recently shut down at the urging of the speaker's aides.

"If we don't have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, I'm for none of the above," Boehner said at a Florida conference, according to Politico.

But a Boehner spokesman told NBC his remarks were "off-the-cuff" and related to "a hypothetical scenario in which none of the current candidates are able to secure the nomination at the convention."

Read My Lips " If we don't have a nominee who can win on the first ballot" Ryan said and John Boehner. Trump, Cruz will not beat Hillary after Trump doesn't hit the 1,237. After the first or even the third ballots it would be time for the man that ran for Vise President would, could and will step in to stop the bleeding. Time will start getting short toi come after Ryan by the media or pacs that have been redirected by Ryans Bull.

THAN LATER YEARS FROM NOW! I'm looking forward to the convention. I'm looking forward to placing the establishment and congress back where they belong. In our control. So they don't like Trump or Cruz? Well then.....better get to work congress, or we may have a mutual miserable outcome for you.
